American Update: The Bute Collection: A Timely Intervention: All Winners #13
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Just one comic from the Bute Collection this week, but it’s a goodie! We’re especially pleased to be able to present an issue of the famous All Winners, #13 from 1944, which features the big three Timely heroes: the Human Torch, Captain America and the Sub-Mariner, plus the Whizzer (no slouch himself) in individual stories. It wasn’t until issue #19 that they were all to team up as the All Winners Squad, but Cap & Bucky, the Torch & Toro and Subby are all teamed up on the wonderful Alex Schomburg cover to this issue. Extra fun features include a pictorial message from Cap advising a waste paper drive for the war effort and an ad for Miss America magazine, with a photo of the Miss America model in costume. This issue, as was not uncommon, was printed with just one central staple; this is a little loose but firmly attached enough. There is some spine and minor edge wear and corner blunting, but the comic lies flat with no marks on the cover, except for a little grubbiness above the logo. The pages are nice and remarkably well-preserved for their age. We see precious few Golden Age Timelys and demand is phenomenal. High resolution images are available on request, but there is a good chance someone will order this before we can get those to you.
